Hanging By a String

This is a black and white silver-gelatin print that uses a creative darkroom process called a Rayogram. The Rayogram is created by placing an object or material in-between the photographic paper and the enlarger. In this instance, it is a translucent vest with buttons. The resulting image appears as a result of the absence of light. Behind the Rayogram is a historical image of three fishermen sitting beside a body of water holding fishing rods. The image is grainy and imperfect, typical of an aged photograph.
